W211 bluetooth phone options - ViseeO or MB?

[reuben]

Just getting a few bits and pieces sorted on my new E Class (56 plate, W211). It has phone pre wiring and I want to add a bluetooth cradle to connect to my iPhone 5.

Options are the MB one, which apparently works with the iPhone 5, but doesn't allow charging as far as I can tell as its just the bluetooth link. Or the ViseeO MB4 one which is the same (is it?) but has a lead which lets you charge your phone from the centre armrest which is more convenient than having a lead to the lighter socket in my opinion.

Can anyone offer any opinions on these options? Thanks!

The Viseeo is more flexible and is user up-datable. The link below gives compatibility/functionality data for MB pucks

Ok that confirms my understanding. I've ordered one so lets see how that turns out! Thanks.
